Write A Narrative Essay About Moving Back To Smithville

Improved Essays
When I first came back to Smithville I had no idea what to expect. I had heard tons of stories about what the kids had been doing and it honestly scared me. Moving towards the end of the school year is hard enough but then when you add extra anxiety on top of that it’s even worse. Everyone that I used to know so well had changed completely and there were so many people who probably didn’t even remember me, which was expected because who cares about that girl who’s been here for 6 years who says absolutely nothing most of the time. Everyone had new groups of friends and I had no idea which of the groups I would be allowed to join, it seemed as if my friends had split and I had to make a choice. If I didn’t choose which group I would be closest to then I would be living a double life considering my personality depends on who I’m around. I would feel terrible if I chose one group over the other, it ended up just depending on who I actually saw more in the hallways …show more content…
Having just come back to Smithville in a neighborhood where I only know one person who was always involved in some sort of activity, I had nothing to really do besides sit around in my house/room all summer. The whole reason we moved back to Smithville in the first place was for everyone to be happier, yet it almost had to opposite effect. Our house had become very stressed out if there was any interaction between people. If I ever came out of my room it seems it would just lead to some fight where I was told that I promised that when we came back I would be happier and kinder but broke that promise. I couldn’t just change overnight, it’s not that easy to become happy again especially when you’re alone and all of really do is think about your mistakes constantly. I’ve never been the kindest person so I couldn’t transform into this sweet little girl that my family wanted me to be, at least not without someone's

    I grew up in a place where the neighbors lived a mile away, the animals ran loose all the time, and if you really felt like it, you could walk outside naked and nobody could really see you. It was a small town where everybody knew everybody; when driving down the road, you knew who was in the car passing you, and by the off chance you didn't, you still waved anyways. Going to the local gas station for a soda or to fill up the truck turned into a trip to go see your friends and visit. The family lived right around the corner, and bonfires were a regular thing. "Sedgewickville Population: 173" is what the town's sign said.…

    The most common question any college student is asked: why did you choose this career path? Generally, the answer is different for every student. The average nursing student will tell you a happy story that lead up to where they are today, however I’m not an average nursing student. From the beginning, everyone saw me as the happy, energetic neighborhood girl. I was homeschooled, made friends easily, and never had a hateful word to say.…

    I was the captain of the soccer team, safety and kicker for the football team, and point guard for the basketball team, and just the thought of having to fit in somewhere else was unfathomable for me. It didn’t even seem real that I was moving. I was going to have to find new friends and actually go out of comfort zone for once. The first day of school to my new school came way too quickly. I was very uneasy and…

    I want to write about the experiences that I encountered after attending Carl Junction schools, and the impact and difference it made on my life. People think all schools are the same, that it is school, there’s kids and there’s teachers, you go and sit for 8 hours and you get marked as ‘present’ regardless if you’re learning or not, and if you’re present and you don’t fail, then you go on to the next grade. But I realized something different, when things got switched up for me. I attended Carl Junction schools from 1st grade to the very end of 6th grade, and then I started Joplin in the 7th grade, not knowing anyone from this school, or really this area. When I started school at Joplin I was so nervous, I was nervous about the normal stuff, that no one would like me, I would sit by myself, or people would be mean to me.…

    One of the biggest personal challenges I faced was before I moved back to Lawrence I lived in a rural small town on the frontier of Kansas and Oklahoma. I was in Junior high school at the time and the town was very traditional and old-fashioned and having a new student at the time was very seldom to occur. I soon found myself being verbally and even sometimes physically attacked for being the only Native American student in the school district and that was so troubling to me just because I was just trying to get my education to better myself and make friends. My reaction at the time to the event was turning to one of my favorite teachers, he helped me confront the bullies and helped me through my troublesome time. The way he treated me was…

    Living in Olathe, Kansas, a large suburb outside of Kansas City, did not prepare me for the move to Salina. The benefits of living in a larger suburb are that the high schools can really help you prepare for the transition to college level classes. I did not take the help the school gave out into consideration when going to classes. My senior year was when everything clicked into place and I knew what I want to do with my life, and that was flying.…

    We are all familiar with those teen comedies following the same storyline where the awkward shy girl meets the boy of her dreams and ends up befriending everyone in school. Well, that girl is me, except I don’t get the boy or the insane popularity or the happy ending, not yet anyway. Maybe my life will find some parallels to those typical high school movies, but that time isn’t now. Moving definitely decreased my chances of that ever happening and transformed my perspective on the world around me to this day. I am a person who never liked change, so moving away from my friends and going to a new school was devastatingly terrifying.…

    A Rollercoaster I never have been that person who was an overachiever, an athlete, or involved a lot in school. People would see me as that girl who had a small group of friends, the one who sat quietly towards the back of the class, the girl who was reserved and straightforward. The girl who tried her best, who was determined to graduate, to go to college. During freshman year, my life changed, for the better I thought, but honestly it was not for the better. Yet, here I am pushing to make it passed that, pushing to allow myself to pursue something I have wanted, pushing to become who I believe I can be.…

    I guess you could say, moving your freshman year of highschool could be the best time of your life, but let me tell you, it was definitely the worst. While new people and new experiences are good, I hate change and this was a huge change. As I walk into the building of which id call school for the next four years I had a terrifying feeling that something wasn't right and just then, I realized I forgot an important paper in my mothers car. Before I could react and because I wasn't paying attention, I trip, fall on my face and spill my coffee all over and all over anything. As I clean myself and my surroundings I finally get myself up and walk to the room that I thought I was suppose to be in, but with all of my luck, I'm in the wrong room and…

    I’ve been in the same school system my entire life, and was nervous to start a new. Growing up I had a negative connotation associated with change; moving taught me that it is important to make the best of your situation, and not all change is bad. It was a rainy first day of school, I had an uneasy feeling the night prior, , without much sleep. My body felt sluggish, and I looked like a train wreck.…

    At first I was in denial about leaving. I found myself more attached to the building and atmosphere than the people. As much as I wanted to stay in my own world the beginning of September rolled around and I found myself back to school shopping. The first day in a new place is never easy, maybe even the first month but sooner or later you have to put yourself out there and prepare for what hits you. I had been at Jenison for a month and didn’t even know how to start making friends.…
